@Jarne Yes, I feel enclosures are done best in natural environments, but I don't mind a little addition of some human-specific stuff. Like an abandoned barn for a nocturnal house, a silo in a white-tailed deer exhibit, and the Glacier run at Louisville does a great job of implementing human elements in the bear exhibits. I just feel like for smaller animals putting a big spider in a bucket isn't what I would call bringing in the human element properly.
@CheeseChameleon2007 No, the bucket isn't really a great example of it. I do like the idea behind this thing here, as several animals actually do come over in shipping crates and in the best case poses a danger to dockworkers but in the worst case pose a danger as invasive species. The only problems I have with it is that it's still rather small, very dark and it could be decorated better on the inside.
@Jarne I think in theory, the Idea is pretty clever in a state of mind. In real life, it doesn't quite hit the mark. I would more like a connection of exhibits that span multiple shipping crates, or a normal natural exhibit with a shipping crate in the exhibit.
